   I'm new both to php and also wordpress so please excuse me if this is a simple problem.

   I'm hoping to create a blog with dates being the emphasis (please see image). I'm just not sure how to create the php that will call in an image that will relate to a date (not sure if that is the right way to go about it). I want to create 31 images that will relate to the specific day in the month (but not in order).

   I hope this isn't a mental request and I really appreciate any help.

   Regards,

   Rob

   Hi Rob,
   I should be able to help you out.
   What you want to do is split, the images into months and days and use a bit of CSS to display the date image behind the text and PHP to call the date images.
   Something like: index.php
   

   <div class="entry" style="background: url(http://www.robertfarrelly.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/<?php the_time('dm') ?>.png);">
     <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>

   Then some stuff in style.css to make it pretty.

   Hope that helps, if you still need help contact me via my website.
